Why do some people react differently to alcohol than others? Individual reactions to alcohol vary, and are influenced by many factors; such as: Age Gender Race or ethnicity Physical condition (weight, fitness level, etc) Amount of food consumed before drinking How quickly the alcohol was consumed Use of drugs or prescription medicines Family history of alcohol problems.
When HIV-infected drinkers fail to take their medications or do not take them correctly, it can result in a higher viral load and an increasing likelihood that the virus will become resistant to the therapy.
When a person is an alcoholic vitamins will not be absorbed properly, which can lead to a deficiency of nutrients if alcohol use continues. Liver disease may develop and can lead to cirrhosis.
In addition to the age 21 MLDA (minimum legal drinking age), other effective strategies for preventing underage drinking include increasing alcohol excise taxes and limiting alcohol outlet density. Youth exposure to alcohol marketing should also be reduced.
